Seeking A Full-Time Associate Therapist

Lakeview Center for Psychotherapy has an opening for a full-time associate therapist in our collaborative practice. If you are a psychoanalytically, psychodynamically, or psychodynamic integrative-oriented therapist who is fully licensed and on at least one insurance panel, we encourage you to contact us. We seek culturally responsive therapists with varied life experiences and diverse viewpoints.

Our Group Structure

The Center does not take a percentage of fees collected by associates; associates pay a flat monthly fee for rent, CEUs, marketing, and all shared expenses. We offer the opportunity to build your practice, receive all CEUS needed, collaborate on cases in multiple modalities, and work in a supportive collegial atmosphere. Applicants need to be fully licensed and familiar with or interested in a psychodynamic integrative approach to therapy. Please email info@lakeviewtherapy.com with questions.

To Apply:

Please email a cover letter, and CV, to info@lakeviewth erapy.com. In your letter please discuss how your background informs your therapeutic approach, a description of your orientation, and what types of clients you work with best.
